Admissions Deadlines

Feb. 15 for the following summer. However, applications will be accepted until all
positions have been filled. Applicants will be notified no later than April 15 whether
they have been accepted into the program or not.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must apply to the Graduate School at the University of Northern Colorado
before the program area reviews the applicant's request for admission. Failure to
submit all required materials will delay the evaluation and screening of your application

Each applicant must:

Possess a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university
or a comparable degree from a foreign institution.

Have a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale on the most recent
60 credit hours.

Take the following steps to be considered for admission:

Step 1: Complete the Application

Complete the online application and pay the application fee (you will pay the fee after you complete all application
questions and submit the application)

Domestic Students: $50 non-refundable application fee

International Students: $60 non-refundable application fee

Step 2: Transcripts

Request one official transcript from every accredited college or university attended
or from which you earned credit, except UNC. Official transcripts from each college
are required, even if courses taken at one institution are listed on another school’s
transcript. This includes concurrent enrollment courses taken while in high school
through an accredited college. You do not need to provide study abroad transcripts.

Official transcripts may be sent via mail in an unopened sealed envelope or through
an electronically secure digital program directly from the issuing institution. Mailed
transcripts should be sent to:

UNC retains submitted transcripts, from institutions other than UNC, for admitted
students for up to five years after graduation or date of last attendance at UNC.
Transcripts provided by applicants who were not admitted, denied admissions or did
not complete their application are destroyed after one (1) year. The Graduate School
will make every attempt to use previously-submitted transcripts if they are within
these timeframes. However, if the Graduate School cannot locate previously submitted
transcripts, the transcripts fall outside the timeframes listed above, or they are
considered illegible, applicants must provide new transcripts.

Step 3: Supplemental Items

You will need to log back into the online application system, scroll down and click on "Submit Supplemental Items" to do the following:

Upload the item below:

One-two page statement of educational goals and philosophy.

Request two academic or professional letters of recommendation from supervisors/teachers
who can attest to your academic potential and abilities (click on "start" to initiate
each recommendation request).

Additional Information:

All applicants will be required to demonstrate ASL proficiency prior to acceptance
to the TASL program. To comply with practicum agency/school requirements, students
may be required to submit evidence that a criminal background check has been completed
prior to practicum/field-based experiences.

Once you apply to the UNC Graduate School and your application packet is complete,
your application will be reviewed by the Graduate School and then sent to the faculty/program
for an admission decision. The timing of the admission decision depends on each individual
program’s deadline and review process.
